Parton, Blake Shelton, and Carrie Underwood . . . and the official account for the Grand Ole Opry. And — Here are a few “RANDOM” people he follows

It’s very boring.” But he does admit the healthier lifestyle improved the new album he’s been working on. “It’s probably the best I’ve felt vocally in a long time. I think this record is truly one of the best ones I’ve made in a very long time.”
